Turn it over on the kickstart several times without the pug in the hole (But makesure the plug is earthed to the engine case) just to get things moving.If this dont start to work you need to look at your fuel pump next.

Thanks for the pointers,
A carb strip down is something that I've never attempted before and is probably good advice as my last trip took me through central America ( poor fuel, lots of dust and rain etc.) and the bike has not realy been used since being shipped back.I'll study the manual and persevire.Thanks again. Les.
